Abstract Cooperation with third countries on readmission has occupied an increasingly prominent place in the EU's migration management strategy. The EU and its Member States have progressively concluded an extensive set of bilateral and multilateral, binding and non-binding, cooperation instruments on readmission. This proliferation questions the field's coherence with the principle of sincere cooperation, governing the interplay between the Union's and Member States’ action. By taking this principle as a benchmark, the article highlights the ineffective nature of the current ‘unprincipled’ pursuit of readmission goals. It also demonstrates that sincere cooperation—if read together with subsidiarity—does not necessarily favour the Union's international action, to the detriment of the Member States’. Rather, it requires a good faith effort to identify, and stand by, the most effective level of action.
摘要与第三国在重新接纳问题上的合作在欧盟移民管理战略中占据了越来越突出的地位。欧盟及其成员国逐步缔结了一系列关于重新接纳的广泛的双边和多边、有约束力和无约束力的合作文书。这种扩散对该领域与真诚合作原则的一致性提出了质疑,真诚合作原则指导着欧盟和会员国行动之间的相互作用。文章以这一原则为基准,强调了当前“无原则”追求重新接纳目标的无效性。它还表明,真诚的合作——如果与辅助性一起解读的话——并不一定有利于欧盟的国际行动,损害成员国的利益。相反,它需要真诚的努力来确定并支持最有效的行动水平。

Promoting Fair Private Governance in the Platform Economy: EU Competition and Contract Law Applied to Standard Terms 平台经济中促进公平私人治理:适用于标准条款的欧盟竞争法和合同法
Q1 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-12-01 DOI: 10.1017/cel.2021.11
J. Rutgers, W. Sauter
Abstract In recent years, a platform economy has emerged that is dominated by undertakings such as Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple, and Microsoft. They have established a form of private governance vis-à-vis their consumers and customers by means of standard terms that create a risk of exploitation. This trend clashes with the internal market effort of the EU that is predicated on consumer rights and fair competition to address market failures such as market power, information asymmetry, and asymmetrical contractual dependency. In this article we examine how the resulting tensions can be addressed by means of EU competition and contract law. This is based on enforcing fairness by requiring (1) the implementation of proportionality—balancing interests—and (2) respect of the duty of care, in the sense of compliance by design. Jointly this can be seen as an expression of accountability that needs to be made explicit. Apart from pre-existing case law and legislation, we take into account the December 2020 Commission proposals for platform regulation, as well as behavioural insights into consumer behaviour.
近年来,以bb0、亚马逊、Facebook、苹果、微软等企业为主导的平台经济正在兴起。他们已经建立了一种针对-à-vis他们的消费者和客户的私人治理形式,通过标准条款创造了剥削的风险。这种趋势与欧盟的内部市场努力相冲突,欧盟的内部市场努力以消费者权利和公平竞争为基础,旨在解决市场失灵,如市场力量、信息不对称和不对称的合同依赖。在本文中,我们将研究如何通过欧盟竞争和合同法来解决由此产生的紧张关系。这是基于通过要求(1)实现比例平衡利益和(2)尊重注意义务(在设计合规的意义上)来强制公平。总之,这可以被看作是一种需要明确的问责制的表达。除了已有的判例法和立法外,我们还考虑了2020年12月委员会关于平台监管的建议,以及对消费者行为的行为洞察。

EU Competition Law Devours Its Children: The Proliferation of Anti-Competitive Object and the Problem of False Positives 欧盟竞争法吞噬它的孩子:反竞争对象的扩散和假阳性问题

Abstract In the last decade, EU competition law reached a major turning point in its history. Anti-competitive object became an elusive and unpredictable rule, which boosts the risk of false positives and has a significant chilling effect. This article analyses this metamorphosis and the social damages it is causing, and proposes an alternative conception. The article demonstrates that the emerging new concept of anti-competitive object erroneously conflates ‘contextual analysis’, which has been part of the object-inquiry from the outset, and ‘effects-analysis’, which has no role to play here. It submits that both doctrinal and policy reasons confirm that anti-competitive object should be a category-building principle of ‘judicial rule-making’ (‘definition of the definition’) and not applicable to individual arrangements directly.
摘要在过去的十年里,欧盟竞争法达到了其历史上的一个重大转折点。反竞争对象成为一种难以捉摸、不可预测的规则,这增加了误报的风险,并产生了显著的寒蝉效应。本文分析了这种蜕变及其造成的社会危害,并提出了另一种概念。这篇文章表明,反竞争客体这一新兴概念错误地将“语境分析”和“效果分析”混为一谈,前者从一开始就是客体探究的一部分,后者在这里没有任何作用。它认为,理论和政策原因都证实,反竞争对象应是“司法规则制定”(“定义的确定”)的类别构建原则,而不直接适用于个别安排。

So Long Solange? The PSPP Judgment of the German Constitutional Court and the Conflict between the German and the European ‘Popular Spirit’ 如此漫长的孤独?德国宪法法院的PSPP判决与德国与欧洲“大众精神”的冲突
Q1 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-11-23 DOI: 10.1017/cel.2021.3
P. Hilpold
Abstract The judgment by the German Constitutional Court (‘BVerfG’) of 5 May 2020 has caused a stir all over Europe. The relationship between the BVerfG and the European Court of Justice (‘ECJ’) has never been an easy one, especially after the Solange judgment of 1974. The Solange jurisprudence has, however, not only been synonymous with conflict and rivalry but also for dialogue and, eventually, mutual respect. With the PSPP judgment, this dialogue seemed to have found an end, while by the order of 29 April 2021 the BVerfG appears to have returned to a more conciliatory tone. Nonetheless, the disruption between Karlsruhe and Luxembourg persists. In this article, the PSPP judgment will be examined in detail, presenting it as the last step of long, contorted jurisprudence. It will be shown that the rupture that occurred in May 2020 was technically unnecessary and rather the result of deep-rooted cultural conflict with a clear economic background. The legal reasoning on both sides—that of the BVerfG and that of the PSPP judgment's most outspoken critics—is problematic at best. While for the time being the BVerfG seems to have learnt the lesson from the conflict provoked by its own judgment, the underlying, substantive conflict is still unresolved. It will be shown that this conflict can only be solved on a political level. Thereby, cultural pre-concepts will have to be overcome. Uncompromising reliance on a national ‘popular spirit’ (Volksgeist) will not offer a way out but neither will, for the time being, exclusive reference to a European Volksgeist ignoring Member State realities. The ‘weighing and balancing’ the BVerfG has missed in the previous Weiss ECJ preliminary ruling (again on the PSPP programme) will have to take place on a far broader scale.
2020年5月5日,德国宪法法院(“BVerfG”)的判决在整个欧洲引起了轰动。BVerfG和欧洲法院(ECJ)之间的关系从来就不容易,特别是在1974年索朗热判决之后。然而,索朗热法理学不仅是冲突和竞争的同义词,也是对话和最终相互尊重的同义词。随着PSPP的判决,这种对话似乎已经结束,而到2021年4月29日的命令,BVerfG似乎又回到了更和解的语气。尽管如此,卡尔斯鲁厄和卢森堡之间的隔阂依然存在。在本文中,PSPP的判决将被详细审查,呈现它作为漫长的,扭曲的法理学的最后一步。2020年5月发生的破裂在技术上是不必要的,而是根深蒂固的文化冲突和明确的经济背景的结果。双方的法律推理——BVerfG和PSPP判决中最直言不讳的批评者——充其量是有问题的。虽然目前联保部队似乎已经从它自己的判断所引起的冲突中吸取了教训,但根本的实质性冲突仍然没有得到解决。这将表明,这场冲突只能在政治一级得到解决。因此,必须克服文化先入为主的观念。不妥协地依赖国家的“大众精神”(Volksgeist)不会提供出路,但目前也不会只提到欧洲的大众精神,而忽视成员国的现实。BVerfG在之前的Weiss欧洲法院初步裁决(同样是关于PSPP计划)中错过的“权衡和平衡”将不得不在更广泛的范围内进行。

Abstract This article aims to map how soft law tools have complemented and supported the overall regulatory strategies implemented by European countries to counter the Covid-19 crisis (the soft law atlas), to shed light on some key topics of general interest for legal theory and practice: how soft law tools interact and complement one another including on different levels (the soft law web), how soft law tools interact and complement the sources of pandemic law (the interplay between soft and hard law), and the positive and negative impacts on governance and policy-making of soft law tools during the pandemic and beyond (soft law bright and dark sides).
本文旨在描绘软法律工具如何补充和支持欧洲国家为应对Covid-19危机而实施的总体监管战略(软法律地图集),以阐明法律理论和实践中普遍感兴趣的一些关键主题:软法律工具如何相互作用和相互补充,包括在不同层面(软法律网络),软法律工具如何相互作用和补充流行病法律的来源(软法律和硬法律之间的相互作用),以及软法律工具在流行病期间和之后对治理和决策的积极和消极影响(软法律的光明和黑暗方面)。

The ‘Muting’ of the Stability and Growth Pact 《稳定与增长公约》的“沉默”
Q1 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-11-03 DOI: 10.1017/cel.2021.6
A. Estella
Abstract This article proposes the “muting” of the SGP, the framework of rules that the EU has implemented since the coming into being of the European Monetary Union in the fiscal domain. It is argued herein that the system is far from being credible, from the perspective of the law-as-credibility paradigm. Therefore, the legal condition of the SGP should be “muted”. Three proposals to legally mute the SGP are examined in this article. The Open Method of Coordination is used as a useful model that could be followed from now on in the EU fiscal field. The gains in terms of legal credibility would argue in favour of the muting of the SGP and its correlative conversion into an OMC-like system.
摘要本文提出了自欧洲货币联盟成立以来欧盟在财政领域实施的规则框架SGP的“消声”。本文认为,从法律作为信用范式的角度来看,该制度远非可信。因此,SGP的法律条件应该“静音”。本文探讨了三种使SGP合法化的建议。开放协调方法是今后欧盟财政领域可以借鉴的有益模式。从法律公信力的角度来看,这将有利于取消SGP,并将其相关转换为类似omc的系统。

What Are Grand Chambers for? Grand Chambers是干什么的?
Q1 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-09-15 DOI: 10.1017/cel.2021.5
M. Bobek
Abstract In multi-panelled higher jurisdictions, a larger, extended formation of judges tends to be established within the court. It bears various names: the grand chamber, the extended chamber, the expanded composition, the reunion of several chambers, a court sitting en banc, an extended section or a division of a court. In larger but not too large jurisdictions, the same role is adopted by the plenary. For ease of reference, I shall refer to all such extended judicial formations with the generic name ‘grand chamber’. To bear the same name does not necessarily mean to perform the same function. As a Czech lawyer, I have always intuitively assumed that the role of such a body within an apex court is to unify the case law. In the Czech Republic, as well as in a number of other supreme continental jurisdictions for that matter, there tends to be only one reason for the presence of a grand chamber within a supreme court: to unify the diverging lines of case law and to set a clear line of precedent. However, that has never really been the job description, least of all the practice, of the Grand Chamber of the Court of Justice of the European Union (‘Court’). This begs the question: what may then be other structural reasons for the existence of such a body within an apex jurisdiction? What is the specific role, function, and ensuing justification for the Grand Chamber of the Court? This article offers some personal reflections on that question. It is structured as follows: it begins with a short comparative overview of some of the grand chambers within European (national) courts, overseas in the common law world, as well as at the European Court of Human Rights, in order to tease out the functional rationale for various types of extended judicial compositions within those systems (Part I). Next, two types of such functional justifications for grand chambers in the form of ideal models are identified (Part II). Finally, those justifications are then considered in light of the legislative design and the current practice of the Grand Chamber of the Court, before concluding with two modest suggestions (Part III).
在多小组的高等司法管辖区,一个更大的,扩展形成的法官往往是建立在法院内。它有不同的名称:大分庭,扩展分庭,扩大的组成,几个分庭的合并,一个法庭坐在全体会议上,一个延长的部分或法庭的分庭。在较大但不太大的司法管辖区,全体会议采用同样的作用。为了便于参考,我将把所有这些扩展的司法组织统称为“大法庭”。具有相同的名称并不一定意味着执行相同的功能。作为一名捷克律师,我一直直觉地认为,在最高法院中,这样一个机构的作用是统一判例法。在捷克共和国,以及在这方面的一些其他大陆最高司法管辖区,在最高法院内设立大分庭往往只有一个原因:统一不同的判例法,并确立明确的先例。然而,这从来都不是欧盟法院(“法院”)的职责描述,至少在所有实践中都不是。这就引出了一个问题:在一个最高管辖权范围内存在这样一个机构的其他结构性原因可能是什么?法院大分庭的具体角色、职能和随后的理由是什么?这篇文章提供了一些关于这个问题的个人思考。其结构如下:首先对欧洲(国家)法院、海外普通法世界以及欧洲人权法院的一些大法庭进行了简短的比较概述,以便梳理出这些系统中各种类型的扩展司法构成的功能基础(第一部分)。接下来,以理想模型的形式确定了两种类型的大法庭功能理由(第二部分)。然后根据立法设计和法院大分庭的现行做法审议这些理由,最后提出两项适度的建议(第三部分)。

Market Definition in the Platform Economy 平台经济中的市场定义
Q1 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-03-01 DOI: 10.1017/cel.2021.13
J. Franck, M. Peitz
Abstract The article addresses the role market definition can play for EU competition practice in the platform economy. The focus is on intermediaries that bring together groups of users whose decisions are interdependent, which therefore are commonly referred to as ‘two-sided platforms’. We address challenges to market definition that accompany these cross-group network effects, assess current practice in a number of competition cases, and provide guidance for adapting practice to properly account for the economic forces shaping markets with two-sided platforms. We ask whether and when a single market can be defined that encompasses both sides. We advocate a multi-markets approach that takes account of cross-market linkages, acknowledges the existence of zero-price markets, and properly accounts for the homing behaviour of market participants.
摘要本文探讨了市场定义对欧盟平台经济竞争实践的作用。重点是将用户群体聚集在一起的中介,这些用户群体的决策是相互依赖的,因此通常被称为“双边平台”。我们解决了伴随这些跨群体网络效应而来的市场定义挑战,在一些竞争案例中评估了当前的实践,并为调整实践提供指导,以适当地考虑塑造双边平台市场的经济力量。我们要问的是,是否以及何时可以定义一个涵盖双方的单一市场。我们提倡多市场方法,考虑到跨市场联系,承认零价格市场的存在,并适当考虑市场参与者的归巢行为。

We address challenges to market definition that accompany these cross-group network effects, assess current practice in a number of competition cases, and provide guidance for adapting practice to properly account for the economic forces shaping markets with two-sided platforms. We ask whether and when a single market can be defined that encompasses both sides. We advocate a multi-markets approach that takes account of cross-market linkages, acknowledges the existence of zero-price markets, and properly accounts for the homing behaviour of market participants.","PeriodicalId":52109,"journal":{"name":"Cambridge Yearbook of European Legal Studies","volume":"23 1","pages":"91 - 127"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44367314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Abstract This article reviews the legal and political science literatures on the extensive interpretation of the European fundamental freedoms and on possible ways out. The common market rules were originally laid down in an international treaty, the Treaty of Rome. In functional terms, this treaty became a de facto constitution, implying that its content, including the fundamental freedoms, were constitutionalised. We review how this constitutionalisation constrains legislators at the Member State and European levels. In order to identify possible ways out, we also review several reform options: institutional reforms of the European judicial system; the de-constitutionalisation of the fundamental freedoms; counterbalancing these freedoms with further strengthened social rights; and contestation of over-constitutionalisation within the given primary law framework. We conclude that reform options are available that could gradually free the legislators from the over-constitutionalisation of the common market rules. Such options should become part of the ‘Conference on the Future of Europe’ process and debates about EU reforms in general, as more flexibility is warranted in a heterogeneous EU.
摘要本文回顾了法学和政治学文献对欧洲基本自由的广泛解释及其可能的出路。共同市场规则最初是在《罗马条约》(treaty of Rome)这一国际条约中制定的。就功能而言,该条约成为事实上的宪法,意味着其内容,包括基本自由,已被宪法化。我们将回顾这种宪法化如何限制成员国和欧洲层面的立法者。为了找出可能的出路,我们还审查了几个改革方案:欧洲司法制度的体制改革;基本自由的非宪法化;通过进一步加强社会权利来平衡这些自由;以及在给定的基本法律框架内过度宪法化的争论。我们的结论是,现有的改革方案可以逐步将立法者从共同市场规则的过度宪法化中解放出来。这些选择应该成为“欧洲未来会议”进程的一部分,并在总体上讨论欧盟改革,因为在一个多元化的欧盟中,更大的灵活性是必要的。
